"So, Lin Jin possesses the Profound Yin Body... It’s just that, due to the Cold Flame confusing the spiritual energy within her body, it’s not apparent for now. Of course, if she were to undergo double cultivation with someone, it would yield twice the results with half the effort, and her Profound Yin Body would be fully realized."
As thoughts spun endlessly, Chen Ye looked at the girl.
Lin Jin was undoubtedly extremely beautiful, a beauty that seemed almost sickly, fragile-like.
Her features were so exquisite that not a single flaw could be found.
Her eyelashes, long like butterfly wings, cast a light shadow under her eyelids, adding a touch of pity to her already delicate face.
Her ink-black slightly curly long hair lay smoothly on her shoulders, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.
She made people want to cradle her in their palms, and also made them irresistibly... want to crush her, to see if her empty eyes would then be dyed with a different color.
Hmm... It already was at that moment.
Due to the forceful grip on her wrist, the girl’s body trembled faintly, her unfocused pupils displayed disgust and resistance.
Chen Ye released her hand, seemingly unaware of the girl’s shiver, casually rubbing her head:
"I have already considered your sister’s condition... if you wish to cure it entirely, it will be very difficult. However, paralysis and coughing are not without solutions."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiongyu’s eyes lit up.
Even paralysis could be treated!
She hurriedly knelt down again, grateful to the point of tears: "Thank you... thank you, Master!"
"Besides... I’m considering taking your sister as a disciple, what are your thoughts?" Chen Ye asked suddenly, feeling the continuously trembling head under his hand, and noticing a faint hint of tears in the girl’s hollow eyes.
Ha, this guy’s personality is quite fragile, already wanting to cry?
Fortunately, Lin Jin was always silent and expressionless, and with Chen Ye blocking the view, Lin Qiongyu did not notice her sister was on the verge of tears.
"Accept... accept as a disciple?"
Lin Qiongyu’s voice became stammering, as she knew how much Chen Ye favored his two disciples!
So she misunderstood Chen... misunderstood the Master!
He only wanted to take a disciple, that’s why he looked with interest and kept observing her sister!
"Willing! Of course willing!"
Without thinking, Lin Qiongyu quickly agreed on behalf of her sister, fearing that Chen Ye would change his mind, she knelt down again, knocking her head repeatedly, her voice carrying a sobbing tone,
"Master’s great kindness, Qiongyu... Qiongyu will never forget it!"
Chen Ye found her reaction quite amusing.
Actually, taking on a disciple was a great bargain for him.
If Lin Jin’s physique and Anomalous Fire were known, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would scramble to take her as a disciple—perhaps genuinely, perhaps for other reasons...
"But, with her personality... she might not be willing?"
Chen Ye’s hand tapped the girl’s head, looking at this trembling girl who remained silent, he asked with a smile.
"She is willing! She is definitely willing!"
Lin Qiongyu quickly said,
"Jin’er has just... just been sick for a long time and is afraid of strangers. When... when she gets better, she will certainly cherish you as her master!"
"Oh..."
Chen Ye responded, glancing at Lin Jin’s slightly trembling lips.
However, why did he feel that Lin Jin was very unwilling...
But everything isn’t a problem.
He, Chen Ye, specializes in problem children!
Currently, he has two disciples at home, which one isn’t more difficult to deal with than Lin Jin?
And now, aren’t they obedient!
Wait... he has two disciples at home!
Uh, his disciples should be happy about him taking another disciple, right?
After all, it means they have another playmate...
Chen Ye felt a chill for no reason, coughing lightly:
"Cough cough, this matter depends on your performance, don’t spread it around, especially don’t let my two disciples know!"
Lin Qiongyu was taken aback, did she sense a hint of fear of the disciples in Master’s words...
This must be an illusion!
This is Master’s test for her!
...
Lisong Valley, Inner Valley.
The night was deep.
The moonlight poured like water into the tranquil courtyard, stretching the shadow of the old pine tree longer.
Beside the stone table in the courtyard, two silhouettes, one large and one small, sat side by side.
"Senior Sister, why isn’t Master back yet?"
Qing Jun swung her two short legs, her small hands supporting her cheeks, questioning for the Nth time tonight.
Zhiwei didn’t speak, she just quietly watched the direction of the courtyard gate, her cool little face unreadable, but her slightly pursed lips revealed her inner unease, shallow and clear.
Master wouldn’t really be infatuated with that woman named Lin Qiongyu, would he?
The thought of this possibility filled Zhiwei’s heart with an indescribable annoyance.
"Senior Sister," Qing Jun, seeing her silence, stealthily leaned closer, speaking in a very low voice, "Do we... really have to do that?"
Zhiwei’s body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
She recalled the evening when her junior sister whispered a mysterious "plan" in her ear.
—"Senior Sister, Senior Sister! I have a good way to make Master listen to us obediently from now on!"
—"What way?"
—"We’ll just... ignore him! When he comes back, we won’t pay him any attention, we’ll just do our own thing! Let him know we have tempers too! Then he will definitely coax us and listen to us!"
—"Can it really work..."
—"Hmph! Master only has us two disciples, who else would he coax if not us!"
Zhiwei’s first reaction at the time was that this plan... was extremely childish.
But upon closer thinking, it seemed there was indeed a chance of success.
After all, Master cared so much for them...
